So yesterday I picked up my new 2012 5.0L SC Range Rover Autobiography Ultimate Edition in Sumatra Black with a Ivory and Cherry interior.

It’s thankfully a complete vehicle, with all the “Ultimate Edition” special features intact and fully working. I will now spend the next few months restoring the vehicle back to showroom finish.

Massive congrats!
We were talking about it yesterday.

. Cheers, Greg

Fantastic it's gone to a seasoned forum member!
Some eye opening receipts that were on the ebay listing!

Lots of details to love, I think those door card wood caps with the upgraded switchback are really nice!

The seller was a genuinely really nice guy, but the advert wasn’t the best and the vehicle needs a bit of tlc. It’s got some knocks from the suspension, a braking wobble at high speed, air con doesn’t work, airbag module is faulty and the interior needs a good clean and conditioning, but once those jobs are done it should be a beautiful car again.

Oh the paint work is dull as dish water, but nothing a good detail can’t fix! Current

Glad it's gone to a good home

Matt I know you like a tinker, here's first project suggestion:

paddle shifters (don't think the 5.0 came with these, can't see any in the pix)

I guess though you may want to leave it all original....

Congrats Matt...

The only thing that gets my OCD twitch going is this... Why couldn’t JLR make the wood cover the lower edge of the door switch packs!

Sorry Matt, rant over

Keep us all posted on detailing, cracking car Best to keep original if you can as not that many around that are genuine

It's great that this has gone to a deserving home! It had been on AutoTrader for a long time before it ended up on eBay.

Can't wait to see pictures as you get it to it's former glory.
